With talk of Holiday Pageants around town, it is good to mention the way things were. Heritage Square Museum will be hosting their 12th Annual Holiday Lamplight Celebration this weekend, December 2nd & 3rd.From the Heritage Square site:
"Costumed hosts will transport visitors back in time to Christmas, during the '“Gilded Age.'” Traditional dance, music, and Victorian games will enliven the night, as guests discover exactly how the Victorians partied! Of course, no Holiday Lamplight Celebration would be complete without a tour of our exquisite Victorian homes, beautifully decorated for the holidays. A special visit from Father Christmas and author Georja Skinner round out this incredible holiday program."
Advance ticket purchase is required, so call the Heritage Square Box Office (323225-2700 ex. 224) to celebrate the holidays the way they did 100 years ago in Los Angeles. This is also a great time to check out the Heritage Square Museum, if you've never been there. With their relocated & restored Victorian homes & buildings, visiting is like no other experience in Los Angeles.
Due to the historic nature of the facility and structures, no wheelchairs, strollers, or child carriers are recommended. Also, the Holiday Lamplight Celebration is not recommended for children under six years of age.

Good luck hearing any traditional music over the sound of the 110 freeway!
We attended the Lamplighter Christmas this evening and it was a lovely experience. The homes were beautifully decorated and at each was a unique presentation from days long ago. It was time well spent without multimedia, amplified sound and digital mania. The spirit of Christmas still can be found for those who seek it.
